On Friday night, I met up with Shahrul after his Brunei trip. Initially I was supposed to pick him up at the airport in the wee hours of the morning but his family sprung a sweet surprise on him, haha. On Friday also, my mom left for Perth with my aunt. Ooh I want to strangle her. She had seven months to go - seven months that I was free, but she chose to go when university starts for me. Grrr.
To be honest, while on the bus to Clementi to meet him, I didn't know what to expect. I felt very..blah. Haha Adilah was telling me that when I did meet him, I'd be very happy and that maybe the fact that I was actually going to meet him hadn't sunk in yet because I hadn't met him for so long. I was apprehensive about her words but all's good because it was later proven true. =)
She's so cute! Texted me during the date to ask me how it went because she was 'curious'. Haha =)
We headed to town, had a great time together as usual. Met him again yesterday where we watched The Break-Up. I really enjoyed the movie! Initially it was chosen as a last resort because I wanted a chick flick [heheh] and there wasn't any other better timings but I didn't expect the movie to move me so much. Especially the bit where Jennifer cried when he didn't meet her at the concert. It's as though you could really sense her frustration and her disappointment - the fact that she was trying to be strong and not let him see her cry. Although the movie was a little biased towards girls [haha!], I found it very real and hence, amusing yet sobering. I think that guys and girls will interpret the movie differently. And the ending! I loved the way it was unexpected yet hopeful. I loved the way he winked at her as though they both knew something good was about to happen. And what's going to happen next is bound to be amazing because they'd both cleaned up their lives - they had the courage to take a step back from everything, to re-examine themselves. I think Shah enjoyed the movie too.
After that was Samar's! I love the ambience. Tried the sheesha but couldn't quite get the hang of it, so I stopped trying. I didn't like it anyway. =P. Heheh. But yeah, I love the place. Although the food was a big disappointment. Hmmmm.
He just told me that two of his friends had broken up yesterday because their girlfriends decided they didn't have time for them. Well now, ain't that a sad thing? I figure it's more because of the timing of the trip - the fact that our boyfriends are away during our first two weeks in the university and everything's all moving so fast, alongside discovering many new things. I don't really know how to express this in words. I can understand what goaded the girls to that decision but I also feel sorry for them for giving up so soon.
I can see clearly now the rain is gone..
